Owww :( Sorry dude socket 939 is discontinued.
So basically what happened was AM2 took S939 out back, with a rifle in hand and next thing you hear is a gun blast. AM2 says that S939 is now on a happy farm with all the other sockets that have been "retired".
Your best bet is ebay you can probably find them pretty easy i keep looking for one any anyway.

Gah, I found a better one at 3btech.com, and I don't like using used stuff anyway.

Besides I don't know how to install a Processor, is the fan a part of the processor? I never figured out where is the physical processor? Just that little chip thats like a 2 inch square is the entire processor?

What does the number after the processor speed name mean. Like AMD Athlon 64 X2 "4800+", what does the 4800+ mean?

Thanks for your interest though :) I Realy appreciate it. Now since im a 14-year old child with $200 worth of old games and stuff that I can sell on Ebay I need to find if I can sell that stuff to buy the processor and miraculously install it. :D

If you found a better one good for you! Just make shure it is a socket 939.

The number is just the model number. 4800+ means is an updated version of the 4800 version

The heat sink is the large finned metal thing with a fan on it. This is included with the processor unless you get the OEM version. That version just comes without the heat sink. Yes the processor is the little silver thing it sits under the heat sink.

Thanks a Bunch. Yeah I got some experience installing RAM, GPU, and PSU because I upgraded my PC. Originally it was like 6150LE integrated card and 1GB Ram. A little outdated by today's standards but w/e a little upgrading and it's fine :)

Now the Specs on the processor on that site says:

"Please note that the AMD Athlon 64 processor comes in 754, 939, and 940 pin (AM2) configurations. Please be sure that you select a processor that is compatible with your motherboard. Opened Retail Box Processors cannot be returned due to compatibility concerns"

Does that mean that this Processor can work with Socket 754, Socket 939 (For my Motherboard) And 940 pin? What does the 940 pin mean?

Thanks again for your help, I appreciate it, and I'm learning things along the way :)

And If I get a CPU without the Heatsink and Fan, I can just use the new processor with my stock Heatsink and Fan?

No socket 939 means that the cpu has 939 little pins, so 747 has 747 pins and so one. Only 939 cpus go in 939 mother boards.

And yes you can use you original heat sink, or buy a new for better cooling they are pretty cheap.

These are tricky question since a lot depends on your expectation about the level of the graphic detail and screen resolution.

Short answer is that most probably it will work - at least on the lowest resolution and detail level.

Yes the 8500gt has more stream porcessors, faster memory, faster core, and runs on a 128bit interface, rather than the 8400gs 68bit interface.

The GeForce 9800 GX2 1GB (512MB per GPU) 512-bit (256-bit per GPU)

Yes that is right it is SLi (Scalable Link Interface) With Nivdia, and crossfire with Ati.

The 8660gt is sli compatable. The only thing you need is enough power and a mother with two pci-e slots. Oh and a sli bridge with is $3.
8800gt is a great graphics card but it is is not the best. However it is Nvidas best card for the price, seeing how it can run crysis on high.

Yes you can run that card. Nvida recomands a miunmum of 450watts so you are good. How much colling does you case have, does it have at least one exaust fan (not counting power supply)? That card is a low profile card so it does not exaust directly to outside, it is usally not that good to have all that hot air sitting in your sytem. But if you don't have an exaust fan you can always run your comp with the side off.

And yes it would work with single core.

Are you not going to but that dual core?

2nd Oct 2008, 18:39

Well right now I have the standard case fan on the back of my case that is heat activated, it turns on and off ocasionally depending on how hot my case is. Then I got the Fan on my heatsink. And the Fan on my PSU, but that dosen't actually provide cooling to case I don't think. Then of course the fan on the graphics card.

Now when you say low profile what do you mean?

Now how much power (In Watts) does the 8800GT take up?

I only have one PCI-E slot

Now, woulden't the 8800GT need TOO much power, to the point where my motherboard cannot channel enough energy to the PCI-E slot, or does that not matter.

Now as you know I have an AMD motherboard, that has a 24 pin connector and then a 4 pin connecter by the PCI-E and PCI slots, what is that for?

Now woulden't I need to upgrade my cooling system since running without the case is not an option?
Tis my side case.http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj53/Madhound12/cool.jpg

That case provides plenty of ventaltion.

It is funny the expensive 8800gt is 70 bucks more expense and it only has a 25mhz core increase, everingthing else is the same. So i would stick with the cheap card.

Low profile means the card only takes up one slot.
This would be a high profile card notice how it takes up to slots, because it exaust its hot air directly out the back.

Did you just say that the card uses 250 Watts?

Before I ran on a 300W PSU without the extra card, and used the integrated card.

I guess dats like I used 300W before, then I have 200W to spare! And I need 250W nonononono me scared, even if the motherboard, disk drive, harddrive, ect. dosent use up 300W in total :(

And Like I heard I need like some kind of voltage on the 12V rail or something like that plz explain.

btw how much better is 9800 series compared to the 8800 series.

It is fine trust me :thumbsup: I read reveiws of people running dualo cores and this thing with a 450 watt psu.

Umm rails are hard to explane over the net.:scratch:
Basaclly what a power supply dose is converts your house's AC current to DC able to used by the computer. A power supply uses converter rails to do this. Some Power supplys have four rails and other have one really big rail. All power supplys put out the same amount of amps on thir rails. So you don't need to worry about that.

Some manufacters are sleasy and use a differnet mathmatical algaritham to determan their volatage. The say the psu is 300 when it is really 262, this is beacuase they don't account for their conversion loss. Don't worry antec is honest company thier psu puts out exactly 500 watts.

So get that card and stop worrying.:D

The 9800gt is worse than the 8800gt. The 8800gt has a 50mhz core clock higher. a 1000mhz memeroy clock higher. The 9800gt has a more andvance chip set or some marketing jibersh like that.

So stick with 8800gt.

Your Ram and and CPU is more thane nough to run BS:P.

However your 8600GT will prevent you from running the game on maximum high.

I would buy an 8800GT, I believe that would would be able to run it on high, and the 8800GT will be greatly complimented with the quad core and 4GB of RAM.

Just make sure your Power Supply is enough, the 8800GT sucks up power like a 230Watt light bulb. Lol.

Where can I find details of my motherboard and processor socket?I believe that this may of assistance. My friend gave it to me a while ago to check some info. It gives very detailed information about your CPU and I think motherboard and a million different things that I have no idea what they are lol

Here is a sample of what it looks like. That's info on my CPU.

Your Ram and and CPU is more thane nough to run BS:P.

However your 8600GT will prevent you from running the game on maximum high.

then i might as well just a follow's a gamer's ideas and put high detail on important things ( units, ocean etc) but put low on shadows or not important details

that's whats bull i can't upgrade my graphics card cause i'm just a kid
and if i were to get 8800GT that would be like $150 and still need to know how to install it
and plus it'll cost like $40 bucks for people at futureshop to install it for ya

heard that two graphics card at a time can be very strong (dell)

In BS:M there is one more thing that kills GFX cards - the clouds. Try to lower that setting and you'll see that framerates especially in busy air dogfights are going to skyrocket...

ok hopefully there'll be a button for clouds and not just say details etc.

hopefully we don't need a high tech comp to play this game?

you guys think the graphics is more hardcore in BSP or crysis?

Well in all the interviews the devs discussed that will be a hardcore game graphics wise.

crysis will probally hold the record for most damnding game. This game will proabally have the graphics intesity of CoD 4 and World in Conflict on high settings.

I tried but I can't.

1. I don't think you tried hard enough - it works even through a firewall.
2. This is an open forum - May I sugggest that if you have probelms and need to "chat" with somebody, do it through PMs (Private Messages), alternatively you could exchange e-mail addresses so attachments can be sent or take it even further and discuss the problem through MSN Messenger or Skype or similar tools. I believe we're way beyond (or under) what the purpose of this forum is...
